29Apr Magic Lantern firmware in the works for the Canon 5d mark III
With the resent release of Canon’s 5d mark III firmware update, the Magic Lantern Team is now able to start work on a firmware hack. But what do you add to a camera that has most of the video features we’ve come to expect? Here’s my wish list. Clean 1080p hdmi output Focus peaking Histogram in […]
27Mar Better DIY Sescom USB to 3.5mm cable build
After posting the Sescom usb to 3.5mm cable review, Michael started asking me why I didn’t post a soldering tutorial on making a cheaper version of the Sescom adapter. Several long comments and 3 days later, Michael has posted his own tutorial on building a cheaper version of the Sescom cable. A few things to note, you can’t build this […]
24Mar Sescom USB to 3.5mm headphone monitoring cable – Video Review
First i’d like to note that there is a mistake in this video. As of right now Magic Lantern audio functions are not working on the T3i. They are working on it, but the t3i and 600d have a different audio chip then the rest of canon’s cameras making it difficult to enable audio functionality. […]
15Mar Magic Lantern Key feature overview, Noob guide part 3
Exposure Screen: I’ve already covered the two screens you’ll probably use the most (Audio and Live View). Now it’s time for the less used but still important Exposure Screen.

11Mar Magic Lantern Key feature overview, Noob guide part 2
Live View Screen: The Live view screen has some pretty useful options available, but the most important feature is the very first option “Global Draw”. Turning this on allows Magic Lantern to display handy graphics on the screen like the Audio meters. If this option is turned off, your camera’s screen will look the same as […]
10Mar Magic Lantern Key feature overview, Noob guide part 1
Behold the majestic Canon t2i sporting the Sigma 30mm f1.4 lens, basking itself in the late afternoon sunshine. But seriously as of right now the Canon t2i combined with Magic Lantern is the best bang for your buck out of any DSLR video option on the market. A used t2i body sells for well under $500, add […]

The PRETEC SDXC 64GB class 16 card clocks in at $75, while the Sandisk Extreme SDHC 32GB 45MB/s card will set you back about $64. On one hand the Sandisk Extreme SDHC cards are well respected and considered to be well worth the money, while PRETEC made its name as one of the first companies […]

Gordon wrote in: With all the different models of Beachtek and JuicedLink adapters it’s hard to figure out which one is the most suitable as a direct to dslr camera audio solution. What’s your favorite? Above are just a few of units I have laying around the studio so it’s hard for me to pick a […]
04Feb JuicedLink DS214 AGC Disabling pre-amp released this month.
Let me start by saying that I like Juicedlink products. I have the JL-DT454 which provides the ability to disable AGC on the canon 7d. The handy thing about Juicedlink preamps is that they provide gain. Beachtek and Studio one preamps are passive, so if you have an audio source that’s quiet there is no […]
